Everton defender Michael Keane admits he didn't get along with former manager Frank Lampard.

Keane has started the last four games under Sean Dyche.

"This season, when Frank was manager, I played 20 minutes of Premier League football and that's something I'd never had to cope with before," Keane told the Sunday Times.

“I did find it really tough. It was not having the match day feeling that comes from being in contention to start, and not even a feeling I had a chance of coming on.

“Feeling out of the picture and knowing I couldn't do any more in training. It's hard to swallow. You feel 'why is this happening?'

“The team started the season OK but then we were losing games and I was still nowhere near it. That feeling where the manager rates you, where he respects you as a player, where he makes you feel a part of it … when I didn't have that it was hard."

Before he added: “Frank was a good person, but he didn't really speak to me. When I asked what I could do to get a chance, he said, 'there's nothing really.'
